On the Reduced SU(N) Gauge Theory in the Weyl-Wigner-Moyal Formalism

Weyl-Wigner-Moyal formalism is used to describe the large-$N$ limit of reduced SU$(N)$ quenching gauge theory. Moyal deformation of Schild-Eguchi action is obtained.Comment: 24 pages, phyzzx file, no figures, version to appear in Int. J. Mod. Phys.

Weyl-Underhill-Emmrich quantization and the Stratonovich-Weyl quantizer

Weyl-Underhill-Emmrich (WUE) quantization and its generalization are considered. It is shown that an axiomatic definition of the Stratonovich-Weyl (SW) quantizer leads to severe difficulties. Quantization on the cylinder within the WUE formalism is discussed.Comment: 15+1 pages, no figure

2-Form Gravity of the Lorentzian Signature

We introduce a new spinorial, BF-like action for the Einstein gravity. This is a first, up to our knowledge, 2-form action which describes the real, Lorentzian gravity and uses only the self-dual connection. In the generic case, the corresponding classical canonical theory is equivalent to the Einstein-Ashtekar theory plus the reality conditions
